Chapter 285: The Battle of Liuluo Bay
At this time, there are hundreds of ships in Zhangzhou Moon Port, divided into two sides of the strait, and there is no end in sight, at this time, all the warships of the Fujian Navy of the Ming Dynasty are concentrated here, which can be described as the elite out, whoa! Wow! The waves crashed against the reef, splashing a few feet high white crystal water, the waves surged to the shore, gently caressing the soft sand, and reluctantly retreated, again and again forever caressing, drawing a strip of silver under the sand, as if to the mighty sea inlaid with a glittering silver frame, at this time on the beach, a large group of Ming officers and soldiers lined up neatly, the military appearance solemn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info From a distance, Zheng Zhilong, who was standing at the forefront of the team, was burly, wearing a military uniform, full of energy, full of spring breeze, and in front of Zheng Zhilong was a temporary wooden platform, and at this time standing on the platform was Zou Weilian, the governor of the Fujian Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, I saw him impassionedly said: "Dutch Yangyi, obedient gang, its character is fresh and unjust, cunning and aggressive, arrogant and arrogant, since the twenty-ninth year of Wanli to the present, repeatedly offended my great tomorrow, the court is furious, the soldiers are exhausted, and their edge is extinguished, However, the heavens have the virtue of a good life, and I Ming is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the state of etiquette, is to kill all the people, let it retreat to Taiwan, but the Netherlands Yangyi, stubborn, although I inherit the grace of the Ming, but do not think of returning, and in Chongzhen four years, raise thieves, harass the sea, forcibly occupy the land, scourge the living beings, destroy the city, kill very miserably, after which its arrogant wolf, despise my Ming, its crimes are innumerable! It is to be angry and angry, Zhi'an Sheji, singing the golden drum, working together, killing the red hair, and inspiring my great tomorrow! ”
"Cheer me up!" "Cheer me up!" "Cheer me up!" The whole army roared.
Zou Weilian nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "I hereby order Zheng Zhilong to be the vanguard, Gao Yingyue to be the left wing, Zhang Yongchan to be the right wing, Wang Shangzhong to be the guerrilla, Wu Zhenyuan and Chen Mengzhu to be rewarded for their merits, and I will also personally cross the sea and swear to supervise the battle!" This is a specific naval battle strategy, and I will send it to you in a moment! I believe that with the concerted efforts of all the soldiers! I will win this battle! Zou Weilian concluded sonorously.
"Victory!" Zheng Zhilong took the lead in responding.
"Victory!" "Victory!" "Victory!" Suddenly, the whole army roared, and the roar shook the sky, and for a while, the morale of the Ming army was like a sharp sword, directly piercing the sky and slashing towards the distant enemy.
At this time, the Dutch in the distance also seemed to feel the strong murderous aura from the Ming army, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure, so they were also constantly preparing for war, their big alliance Liu Xiang brought more than 50 warships, which made Putmans feel a lot more settled, and then for a period of time, the heavy military groups on both sides searched for each other and looked for fighters until the arrival of that silent dawn.
The sea is quiet in the early morning, the sea breeze is light, and even the sound of the waves is surprisingly light, as if it is afraid of waking the sleeping people. The sea was covered with fog, and the sky was covered with fog, and when you looked at it from afar, you could only see a gray patch, and the water and sky were the same color, and it was impossible to distinguish where the water was and where the sky was. The pre-dawn darkness gradually receded, and a bright light shone between the sea and the sky, like a lit torch, burning with deep blue water and gray clouds. Gradually, the entire eastern sky burned red. It was the dawn of dawn, and the sun rose from the dormitory of the sea, and the sea and sky suddenly shone brightly.
At this time, the soldiers of the Dutch-Liu coalition army in the southern part of Kinmen Island rubbed their somewhat hazy eyes, and looked at the thin mist, at the end of the mist, the continuous huge black shadow suddenly introduced their eyes, and some of the fatigue that had disappeared suddenly without a trace.
"Early in the morning! What's the noise? Putmans, who had been woken up in his sleep, roared angrily.
"Report sir! Mingguo's fleet appeared at the mouth of Liuluo Bay! The soldier hurried in to report.
"What?!" Putmans was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, grabbed the clothes around him and quickly put them on, and ordered while putting them on: "Order all the soldiers to prepare for battle!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers hurried to pass on the order of Putmans.
The Dutch soldiers deserved to have undergone rigorous training and the tempering of cruel warfare, the fleet quickly recovered after a short period of panic, under the guidance of the quickly arrived Putmans, all the battleships quickly changed their formation, and put out a defensive formation in which the Dutch battleships were in the center, and the battleships of Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu were scattered in all directions, like a fierce beast, all of its aggressiveness was suddenly reined in, and it was fully prepared to deal with the attack from the opponent, and its fierce gaze was also telling its enemies, It could strike back at any moment, leaving its opponents with a bloody lesson.
As the vanguard of the Ming fleet, Zheng Zhilong naturally had a full view of all the enemy's actions through the telescope, watching the enemy put up this defensive formation, his brows only frowned slightly, and then he looked up at the flag fluttering in the east wind on the battleship, the corners of his mouth turned slightly, and said with a smile: "God help me!" Then he ordered: "Raise the flag, act according to the original plan!" ”
Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate, with experience in commanding warships and commanding naval battles, the commander of this battle naturally fell on Zheng Zhilong's head, Zou Weilian also understood this, so he only supervised the battle, and did not interfere too much in all the decisions made by Zheng Zhilong, although he had some objections to Zheng Zhilong's battle plan, but for the victory of the war, he did not agree with Zheng Zhilong's battle plan in the end, that is, the naval battle strategy he sent to the generals in the end.
According to the naval battle strategy, the Ming warship began to unfold in the southeast corner of Liuluo Bay, like an ancient beast, slowly opened his bloody mouth, and like the sharp knife slowly raised, just wait for a knife to swing down the enemy's head to cut off, Zheng Zhilong looked at the Ming fleet that slowly opened the formation, and the excitement in his heart couldn't help but slowly stretch out, his hegemony will go further after this battle, thinking about it, his clenched fist couldn't help but clench tighter.
Putmans naturally also saw the change in the formation of the Ming army, and at this time, his heart couldn't help but tighten, as if he had an ominous premonition, but he couldn't say anything wrong, "Could it be that this Zheng Zhilong wants to use the main force to collide with our Dutch fleet, and use those small boats to stop Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu?" However, Liu Xiang and Li Guozhu's combat power is not weak, if the interception fails, then Zheng Zhilong's main force will not fall into our encirclement? The Ming army will be defeated! How dare Zheng Zhilong do such a big risk? Looking at the Ming fleet opposite him, Putmans frowned.
